Mojo Anniversary

As I mentioned in my previous post, tomorrow is our 12th wedding anniversary. I used the Mojo Monday sketch 163 to give me some inspiration to make a card for DH.



This is the 3rd attempt at an anniversary card and my 2nd remake of this one. It just wasn't working for me. Thank goodness for that little spatula thingy in the Cricut tools. It works great to peel up the layers of card stock. I added some paper piercing to add a little interest.

We are planning on having a date night tonight. We are very excited to find our favorite chef opened a new Mexican fusion restaurant and I think we will be heading up to Milwaukee to check it out. (Thank you to my MIL for taking my DH overnight!)

Thank you for looking! Have a great week end!

P.S. Mojo, my muse, please come back! I miss you!

Supplies:
  • Images: Marriage Sentiments from Raindrop Echo Designs (available at Whimsy Stamps)
  • Papers & CS: October Afternoon Road Map & Fly a Kite DP, PTI kraft cs, Paper Studio black cs
  • Inks: None
  • Tools: Paper piercing tool, Copic markers, Martha Stewart edge punch
  • Embellishments: Misc. ribbons & brads

Love this card for your hubby and happy anniversary! have you ever tried floss to remove the layers? Yes, maam, dental floss...just works wonders and keeps the integrity of the paper layers that you have to 'pull' up!!! Just pretend that the layers of paper are your teeth and floss away...gently and carefully!!!

Fabulous card, Cheryl. Congrats on your anniversary. I had to laugh at your comment about the Cricut spatula thingy...I use that thing all the time to take off cardstock I've messed up or just don't like. Not sure I EVER use it with my Cricut but yeah, thank goodness for that thing! Thanks for entering the Catch the Bug challenge with your card. Great job combining all those other challenges too! I hope you'll join us again next time.
